Erie Otters 2024 - 25 Season Thread, Part I

It is a different yard stick, today if you are charged (you don’t need to be convicted) with a crime associated with a minor you are not permitted to work with youth in many organizations. It a matter of corporate policy.

So yes it’s a different stick, a better stick. We don’t prioritize the rights of accused pedofiles and rapists over the protection of children. ‘Boys will be boys’ is not acceptable, victim blaming is not acceptable.

What is the statuette of limitations on sleeping with a minor when you are in a position of power and authority over them?….. answer is no limit, it’s f$cking disgusting.

I don’t think we need more people like Graham James.

100% this, all day long.

Who’s out for tonight’s game from the Erie squad? Just wondering if we will get to see the future #1 overall pick

Yes! I want to see Matthew Schaefer play again this season, it was so unfortunate of his injury on his draft year, he should be right there near to top of his class

Unfortunately for you (and the Otters), Schaefer still out due to the injury suffered at Juniors. I did see him last weekend, and he wasn't wearing a sling. Also, Spence and Daviault were not dressed against Owen Sound the other night.

Hopefully Spence is playing at least!

We're heading into February, I have noticed in the past, that it is usually about this time Dale begins to roll out his 4 lines on the more regular bases, not just when they have big leads. Readying his younger players for the playoffs is very important, as well as resting his big stars
